A couple of these tenets are basically redundant. Also, what the hell does “the rhythm of attention is the rhythm of life” even mean? It’s garbage pseudo-spiritual word salad.

It means the agent should try to be intentional, I think? The way ideas are phrased in prompts changes how LLMs respond, and equating the instructions to life itself might make it stick to them better?

  • I feel like you’re trying to assign meaning where none exists. This is why AI psychosis is a thing - LLMs are good at making you feel like they’re saying something profound when there really isn’t anything behind the curtain. It’s a language model, not a life form.

Might be a reference to the attention mechanism (a key part of LLMs). Basically for LLMs, computing tokes is their life, the rhythm of life. It makes sense to me at least.

  • It shouldn’t make sense to you, because it’s meaningless slop. Exercise some discernment.
